“Fake Twitter and Facebook accounts were created to give China, the largest producer of rare earth minerals, a competitive advantage,” Bloomberg reported last week. “The fake accounts claimed that the processing facility would spur irreversible environmental damage and radioactive contamination that could cause cancer and deformities in newborns.”
This is not the first time Canada’s resource industry has been targeted by foreigners. Last summer, an Alberta Public Inquiry that, between 2003 and 2019, a collection of foreign entities spent $1.28 billion on “Canadian-based environmental initiatives,” designed to impede Canadian energy development.that the Canadian federal government was directly involved in damaging the energy industry in Canada. Between 2004 and 2019, over $414 million in federal funds was given to, some of which were directly involved in anti-energy campaigns. Only $41 million of this was handed out before Trudeau’s election in 2015.
The Liberal government should not have been financing one side against another in order to influence public opinion or, worse, to influence its own regulatory bodies. As Mac Van Wielingen, founder of ARC Resources and a prominent philanthropist and investor in Calgary, told me in an interview recently: “Undisclosed private funding of activism is the problem. That’s the essence and foreign funding is the worst example.
Now it appears that China has been involved in damaging Canadian projects — a matter that should be investigated by the resource industry here. The Alberta Inquiry was the first to do so and revealed that millions of dollars in American money was funnelled to try and strand the country’s oil sands and create regulatory gridlock in order to block the construction or enlargement of pipelines, transmission lines and economic development.
And from the convoy
Screw that, stop the government from meddling in everyone's business and Canada will be much better off.
well open up Canadian Industries to improve our own economy such as Pipeline
Canada governments will never protect Canadians. Industry or not. Giving $trillions for foreigner ownership and control is treason.
They won't.
The Freedom Convoy was bought and paid for with American dollars. The National Post and it’s anti-Canadian opinions is American owned. Both constitute foreign meddling. NP is not very self aware.
Too late. Nothing in Canada is owned by Canadians except French’s ketchup
Ottawa is being ruled by foreign meddling.
And next week you’d say we have too much red tape, how are we going to attract investment? Just shut up!
Does that include protection from Trudeau and Freeland?
NP should be on the top of that list
From the newspaper owned by the US.
Protection from Trudeau not likely... he's proved again and again he's anti Canadian
Who is going to protect the Canadian economy from Groper Trudeau’s meddling and incompetence?
If only our PM had a brain.
Sure Diane. Go preach to the greedy corporate CEO’s and shareholders on that point.
Sure Dianne.
Canada needs protection from the influence of our PM.
That ship has sailed
Ottawa is the foreign meddling via wef.
Is the World Economic Forum not a form of foreign meddling?
American owned newspaper
Says the foreign owned newspaper constantly advocating to sell our energy resources to foreign companies after we deregulate the environment and subsidize extraction...
That's hard to do when Trudeau is WEF and therefore complicit in foreign meddling. HE invited them.
An excuse to take Canadians taxes and waste them in needless bureaucracy or worse hand outs to wealthy businesses.
The libs ARE foreign meddling……WEF agents
Says Prostitute Media that REFUSES to say one thing about the Canadian government being controlled by the WEF! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Our failed gov’t does not care !
Certainly not ALL foreign meddling? We'll have to show some basic respect for the other dictatorships if we want to get along in the world.
How do you do that when most of our industry and resources are owned and controlled by foreign interests thanks to our globalist governments. I'd call that a little more then meddling.
The global citizen protect Canada, ya ok!
don't expect turdo to support this.
Yes protect Canadian industry from the corrupt foreign interests and the corrupt Blackface regime which also attacks its own businesses.
whaaaaaa ,Trudy loves letting china take over ..sick fk !
Thank Goodness for foreign investment in Canada - the Liberal Government is giving billions of taxpayers dollars to Ukraine.
Chinese DeepInfiltration exacerbated by BethuneSyndrome SinoFaustianPact needs to end Chinexit is inevitable
Diane, since you've failed to notice, Ottawa has opened the door for political interference and joins in with them, ie. Oil and Gas. Average Canadians can't take weeks off work to protest pipelines.
That should include first and foremost the USA. The biggest meddlers on the planet.
